Re: Brand New to Snort Brand New to Linux

["Timothy M. Lyons" <lyons () digitalvoodoo org>]

Nick,

gcc and cc should reside in /usr/bin on a standard RedHat install, if 
you cannot find the files then run 'rpm -qa | grep "cc"' from the root 
prompt.  Assuming you are running RH8, then you should see various gcc 
3.x packages.  If you don't see those packages then you'll need to 
install them and the glibc packages manually or with up2date.

As for the second failure you listed, "./configure--with-mysql"  you 
need to put a space between ./configure and --with-mysql

You'll also need the mysql-devel package installed.

Hope that helps a bit.
